"Let me grab my jacket and we can go." Loki said, leaving his place in front of her and reaching behind the front desk pulling out his black leather jacket and his backpack. "Alright ready?" He asked her again, reemerging from behind the counter with his belongings. Natasha just smiled and nodded her head, following him towards the parking lot.

They reached Loki's car, parked underneath a shade tree. It was a black Jeep with a dark interior that matched his personality. When Natasha opened the door and slide into the seat, she noticed all the CDs and their cases littering the floor, as well as his gym bag and a pair of running shoes.

"Excuse the mess. I didn't have time to clean it this week." Loki apologized, blushing a little at his messiness.

"It's fine. You should see my car." Natasha added, picking up a few CDs and looking through them. They all consisted of hip-hop/rap, R&B, or metal musicians and bands. Natasha had never heard of some of the metal bands, but she recognized Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, and Flo-Rida.

"I see you like your music." Natasha commented, placing the CDs in the glove compartment with his other CDs. Then Natasha noticed something that really caught her eye. She pulled out a Def Leppard CD, "Hysteria" written on the front with the familiar electrical blue look. "I love Def Leppard." Natasha commented to herself mostly.

"You can play it if you like." Loki smiled at her, sliding into the driver's seat after successfully making room in the back seat for their backpacks. He didn't have to tell her twice, as soon as he started the engine she had the CD in and blasting out to "Pour Some Sugar on Me". Loki just smiled inwardly and outwardly and drove out of the parking lot.

They begun driving down Main Street and as the song ended, Loki lowered the volume so he could talk to the beautiful red head next to him.

"So where do you live?" Loki asked the redhead, who was looking out the window.

"I live off of 'Widow Court'. It's right off of 'Red Room Lane'." Natasha answered, hoping he'd know where that was.

"Ok, I live off of 'Frost Lane'. You're street is only a block away from mine." Loki commented.

Although he had just moved here, Loki was very good with geography and was able to recognize the various neighborhoods and streets.

Once Loki made it to the intersection, he turned right and started the car down the residential sections of the town. Finally they reached Natasha's home. It was a single-family home with a two-car garage and a nice sized front porch with a swing.

"Well here we are." Loki stated the obvious, pulling into her driveway and putting the car in "park". Neither one of them had bothered to raise the volume of the music now had reached, "Hysteria" by Def Leppard echoing throughout the car softly.

"Thanks for the ride Loki." Natasha thanked the dark haired teen. He just nodded his reply, giving her a light smile that sent butterflies to her stomach. There were a few moments of absolute silence, except for the engine running. Finally Natasha broke it. "Hey do you want to come in and eat dinner?" Natasha asked.

"I'd love to. But I don't want to be a bother." Loki answered, smiling at her invitation.

"Loki I wouldn't have asked if it was a bother." Natasha replied, smiling a warm smile. Loki turned off the car and the two walked into her house.

Natasha was an only child, her father worked with the government and was forced to travel a lot for his job, and her mother had abandoned her when she was a little girl.

"Come on it, make yourself at home." Natasha called over her shoulder to the Loki. She began removing her shoes and throwing her backpack by the front door, Loki mirrored her actions.

The two made their way towards the back of the house where the kitchen, dinning room, office, and great room were all located.

"Would you care for spaghetti?" Natasha asked her guest, holding up the Prego sauce container and some noodles.

"Sure that sounds delicious. Do you need any help?" Loki asked, sitting himself down at one of the barstools in the center of the kitchen.

"No I think I can manage. Thank you though." Natasha replied, smiling as she began to cook the sauce.

"Here, let me at least make the noodles." Loki commented, getting up, washing his hands, and beginning to prepare the noodles.

"Would you like to watch some TV or listen to some music?" Natasha asked, looking over at the large iMac sat. Loki followed her gaze but shook his head.

"No thank you, I'd rather indulge in conversation with you, if you would humor me." Loki answered politely. Natasha mentally noted to ask where he picked up his manors.

"So tell me Loki, what was Asgard like?" Natasha asked, curious about his Utah hometown. The two had finished the spaghetti, sauce and meatballs, and had just sat down at the small dinning room table to eat. Natasha brought out some Mountain Dew to drink along with their meal.

"It is quite different then Marvel County or New York. It is more historical and old-fashion. It's your typical western town." Loki replied, not giving much detail. Natasha nodded and continued to eat her food.

"Are you enjoying MCH so far? I know it's your first day but do you like it?" Natasha asked, taking a sip of her soda before looking over at Loki's green eyes.

Damn has his eyes always been so green and bright? Natasha thought to herself.

"I think I could learn to like it here." Loki responded, smiling brightly at the redhead host. Natasha nodded, accepting his answer for now. She mentally noted to ask him again.

They finished dinner with mostly small talk and Natasha begun to clean up. She was usually a neat person but tonight she didn't want to do dishes, instead she wanted to continue to talk to Loki, but he insisted on helping so the two ended up down the dishes together, Loki washing and Natasha drying.

By the time the entire kitchen was cleaned up from dinner and cooking, it was already 6:45 pm and neither Loki nor Natasha were ready to call it quits yet.

"Since it's still early, do you want to hangout or something?" Natasha asked her guest, hoping the answer was yes.

"I'd love to, Miss Romanoff." Loki smiled back at her, sitting himself down at the couch with his Mountain Dew and Natasha following suit.

"So tell me, Natasha, were you always from here?" Loki asked, curious about her past, since she had already learned some about his.

"No, I actually used to live in New York City with my parents-" Natasha replied, stopping abruptly at the memories of her mom came back to her. Although she was young when she left, she had a few memories of her that she carried on with her. "I actually used to live in the Bronx, before I moved here. And before that I lived in Manhattan Island." Natasha replied, keeping the memories of her mom out of her mind for now. It still hurt to remember the woman that abandoned her yet influenced her so much.

"I don't mean to pry, but who is that woman over there?" Loki asked, he was smart enough to know that her parents were a touché subject, and wise enough to know not to directly ask about it. Instead he opted for her to tell him more about them through pictures and stories. He was pointing to a picture on the wall of a red-haired woman holding a newborn baby girl. The woman had bags under her eyes and was exhausted from labor, but was smiling nonetheless while holding the baby. Natasha fought back tears to answer his question.

"That's my mom. That was taken shortly after I was born." Natasha replied, looking away from the picture and down at her drink. Loki noticed it and didn't ask further.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you." Loki stated, holding her hand within his own and forcing her to look at him.

"It's alright. She left before my seventh birthday. She's the reason why my dad and I moved here." Natasha answered, looking over at the picture of her family photo taken when she was three. "My dad didn't want to live in the city where the two of them had met and fell in love." Natasha continued, now looking at the picture of her parents at their engagement dinner. Her mom was wearing a black dress with sparkles and she was holding up hand with her new ring on it. Her father was dressed in a casual suit and had his arms wrapped around her body, hugging her towards him. It was a very romantic picture and Natasha still had her mother's dress in her closet upstairs. "That's their engagement night. My dad proposed to her in Central Park on Christmas Eve. He said that his gift to her, was a life full of happiness together." Natasha had to wipe away a tear that threatened to run down her cheek. "He promised to give her the world." Natasha whispered, remembering her mother telling her the story over and over again as a child. It was her favorite fairytale.

"I'm terrible sorry for bringing it up." Loki repeated his earlier words, hoping that he could still salvage the night from the quick down turn it was heading on.

"It's fine. I've been keeping it bottled up for so long now. I think it's good to let things out. My dad won't talk about her. I think it breaks his heart to see me, because I remind him so much of my mom. I always thought that was the reason why he never hung around the house much after she left." Natasha looked back down at her hands, still held in Loki's larger palms. Loki noticed too and let go, blushing a little at their closeness.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pry. I think I should be going." Loki stated, looking at the digital clock by the TV. It only read 7:15 and really not that late, but he felt Natasha should have some time to herself.

"No. Please stay?" Natasha begged, grabbing his hands again and pleading with her eyes. Loki nodded in agreement, and the two turned on the TV to watch "Sweet Home Alabama" it was one of Natasha's favorite movies. Mostly because it reminded her of her parent's love before her mom left.

By the time the movie officially ended, Natasha had fallen asleep on Loki's shoulder and Loki's head rested against her. Loki was the first to wake up, and noticed their situation. He didn't mind at all, he liked Natasha and deep down inside he felt there might be something there. So instead of waking up the redhead, he took off his black leather jacket and laid it over her shoulders, and laying a pillow underneath her head. He quietly gathered his belongings and walked out through the front door, making sure to lock with the key hidden inside the pillow sitting on the swing.

As Loki drove away, he had a smile on his face, something he hadn't felt in a long time. As soon he parked his car in front of his own home though, the smile faded and he placed a look of annoyance and mischief on his features before walking through the front door.

"Brother! You're home. I was beginning to worry about you." Thor's deep voice bellowed in Loki's eyes.

"Hi Thor." Loki replied emotionlessly.

"Brother good news. I have asked miss Jane Foster out! And she said 'Yes'!" Thor's cheerful tone was making Loki sick. Although he was interested in Thor and Jane's relationship, Natasha also seemed interested herself.

"Congratulations brother. I wish you the best." Loki replied, smiling a little at his older brother. Thor nodded his head and walked back into their father's office to resume watching the preshow to Monday night football.

Odin was Thor and Loki's father; he was a big man and a Gulf War veteran, where he lost his eye. Their mother was Frigga; she was a beautiful woman with golden blonde hair and a gentle touch. Odin and Frigga had given birth to Thor two years after they were married, Loki was later adopted six months later. Although Loki was always loved and cared for, he still didn't take the knowledge of his adoption well. He often times didn't like spending time at home, but until he was eighteen, he couldn't move out.

As Loki walked into his room and kicked off his shoes and clothes, opting to just wear his boxers to bed, he wondered if Natasha had woken up yet, or if she had noticed he left. Loki fell asleep thinking of Natasha's pretty face and lovely smile.

The following morning when Natasha woke up, the first thing she noticed was the intoxicating smells of Loki. She wondered if he had spent the night, but found the source of the fragrance when she sat up from the couch, noticing the large black leather jacket that was now lying in her lap. She slowly looked around the room while stretching realizing she was in her living room and Loki was nowhere in sight. As she walked up the stairs to her bathroom, the memories of yesterday's events entered her mind, and she smiled at her reflection in the mirror.

Once Natasha finished getting ready, she opted to wear her favorite faded blue skinny jeans with holes and her favorite red tank top pairing it with her black-cropped shirt with a heart over it. She grabbed her favorite pair of worn out black Chuck Taylors. Grabbing Loki's leather jacket and wearing it over her outfit, she prepared to go to school. Before leaving her room, she remembered a necklace she hadn't thought about since the day her mother left. It was a necklace that Loki reminded her of without realizing it. Quickly, she dropped her backpack and opened her closest, finding a box of her mother's jewelry and dug through it, looking for a specific necklace. Finally she found it. It was a small silver 18" Tanzanite necklace shaped in a small circle. It was her mother's birthstone, Natasha remembers playing with it as a baby when her mom would hold her. A couple of weeks before her mother left, she had given it to Natasha to make sure she never forgot that her love for her. Natasha had worn it everyday since her mother gave it to her, until high school. Now with Loki asking about her mother, she found a reason to wear it again. Satisfied with her look, Natasha grabbed her forgotten backpack and walked out the door.

As began to eat breakfast, only two pieces of toast, some bacon and a glass of orange juice, she got a text from Loki.

Need a ride to school?

-Loki'd

Natasha smiled at Loki's signature and noted to ask him about it she also wondered how he got her number.

Sure. How'd you get this number.

-Tasha

Jane gave it to Thor, who gave it to me. Be there in 5.

-Loki'd

Natasha smiled at the idea that her best friend gave her number intentionally to the brother of the guy she might be crushing on. Honestly Natasha hasn't had a crush since forever. Clint was really a crush, they only went out on two dates and they didn't even kiss. It was hardly a real relationship. Now with Loki, she felt something that she hadn't felt before. If only her mom were here to help her through her hormonal teenage years.

Once she finished her meal, Natasha washed the dishes and cleaned up the kitchen. She decided to wait outside for Loki, so she grabbed her back and waited outside on the swing, locking the door behind her. Loki showed up exactly 2 minutes after she sat down.

Right on time. She thought. She climbed into Loki's car, still wearing his leather jacket that kept her very warm.

"Morning, thanks for the ride." Natasha smiled warmly at Loki as she threw her bag in the backseat with Loki's.

"No problem. It's my pleasure." Loki replied, smiling back at the beautiful teen. The two tore out of her neighborhood and arrived at school in record time. Loki parked in the same spot as yesterday, underneath the shade tree.

"So what's your first period class?" Natasha asked, as the two began to walk towards the main entrance of the school.

"I have Trigonometry. What about you?" Loki asked, curious as to when he'd see Natasha next.

"I have calculus." Natasha replied not sounding as happy as she looked. Loki just nodded recognition.

As the two entered the main courtyard, they spied the rest of their friends gathered around their favorite bench talking and laughing. Jane was the one who first spotted Natasha and Thor spied Loki both smiling over at their close friend and sibling.

"Miss Natasha, brother good morning. Please come join us!" Thor's loud voice rang over the rest.

"Hey Thor! Hey Jane! What's up?" Natasha asked, hugging her best friend, who was the first to notice the oversized jacket that the petite redhead was wearing.

"Hey Tasha, what's with the leather jacket?" Jane asked, motioning towards the large jacket that Natasha wore.

"Oh right sorry." Natasha responded, blushing a little at being caught, she turned towards Loki taking off the jacket. "Thanks for letting me barrow it. That was really sweet of you." Natasha handed the jacket towards him, smiling warmly at the dark haired teenager.

"It was my pleasure. You can wear it for the rest of the day, it's not supposed to be getting any warmer." Loki pointed out, taken the jacket and wrapping it around Natasha's shoulder, lightly covered by the black shirt she wore. Natasha just blushed at his actions but made no attempt to stop him.

Soon the rest of the group began to file inside the school as other classmates began to arrive, starting the second day of the new school year.

Thanks so much for the review and followers and favorites I got on this fic! I'm sorry for the late update and all the errors. I'm not that good in English. Sorry if there's any plot holes, I'll try and fix it! Let me know if you like the story line so far! I know the summary sucks and I'll try and make it better! Thanks for all the support! GO LOKI/NATASHA! BlackFrost all the way! Haha I'll get more into that as the story goes on! So Natasha's story might be a large part of the story, I don't know yet. Btw if Natasha or any of the characters act out of place its because I'm not exactly sure how they're supposed to act in high school. I'm kinda throwing in characteristics and traits that I think will help the story! Sorry if I differ from their intended character, but I'm also trying to incorporate the actor's personalities too. BTW LOKI AND CLINT WILL NOT BE ARCH ENEMIES. THE ACTORS ACTUALLY SEEM TO BE CLOSE SO I'LL LET THEM ALL BE FRIENDS…FOR NOW… ;) ENJOY! R&R!
